• Go to the dime store and buy a bag or two of plastic bugs, scatter them around the food on your buffet table.
• Giant plastic rats, available at dime stores, look great perched next to dishes on the snack tables.
• Remember how scary Stphen King's The Shining was? Here's an effect borrowed from the movie that's easy to create in a bathroom, if you happen to have a tile wall opposite the bathroom sink mirror (or some other non-staining, easily cleanable surface). Simply take a cheap red lipstick and scrawl the word REDRUM on the wall. When someone looks up while washing their hands, they will, of course, see the word MURDER.
• To make a spooky zombie for the yard, stuff some old clothes with leaves and use one of our Ghastly Guests for the head.
• If you don't want anyone to go upstairs during your party, scatter the stairs with carved Jack O' Lanterns for an eerie display. You could carve small pumpkins with a single letter on each that, when put together, spell "Keep Out."
• For a great outdoor display that gives the effect of glowing faces floating in the dark, hang Jack O' Lanterns at various lengths from plant hangers.
